... are in places and the construction of it all. <br><br>Crazy that some people live with their front door or windows opening out onto the city walls. Awesome views,but must be pretty annoyed at the tourist trade that has popped up in their town.<br>Went back to the hostel and spent the night drinking and chatting with Nonie, Mark, Greg, Byron, Yu and Karmen and decided to leave tomorrow on the 11pm ferry ...

<br>I planned this trip the day before..<br>Starting from Budva by bus, we arrived in Tivat for getting on a boat there. First stop was Herzog Novi, then the blue cave, a small island and afterwards to Kotor, where the bus took us back to Budva. It was a nice trip, beeig on a boat is something special, i liked it.. <br><br>That night, i read the entrance on studivz, that Volker P. will ...

... because of my personal feelings towards him, I told him my summer classes at FDU were about to end August 2002 and although the fall semester was about to begin, I wanted to visit him in Serbia as soon as possible. Soon for me meant as soon as I received a check from the United States government for the total of that semesters' student loan money in the amount of about ten thousand dollars. Darko, hesitant at first soon gave in to my constant petitions to visit him. The day I brought ...

Up early for a quick shower and down, no that is up, to breakfast on deck 9. We met for our tour to Kotor and Budva, Montenegro (Black Mountain) at 8:20, down to the dock and into a bus that took us first to Budva, a summer destination area, considered one of the oldest settlements in the Balkans, and a tour of the Old Walled Ramparts originating from the 15th century. We visited a beautiful little church that has painting on every wall and the ceiling - no space left ...

... quite beautiful. Now staying in shared houses can make for a great experience or can be a bit weird. This was the latter as when we returned we were shhhhh'ed as soon as we entered as not to make her husband. We were shhhhh'ed later when we went to use the bathroom and again when we left to see the town at night and again we we got back. This was only surpass but a head shaking...tut tuting when we finished using the bathroom the next morning. Home sweet home!!!!

... them! It seems they were looking behind to see where we were going, as they were just as lost as us, but heading to the same place! In the end we asked in the petrol station &amp; they followed us out of the city towards the border - they could spot Winnie easier! Once we reached the Montenegrin border, many hours later, they made us even pay for the bike here to get into the country! 'It's in Transit though, we're driving 3 hours to the Croatian border ...

... night in the tent as it was too hot to sleep in the van, we headed for Zabljak, the main town for Durmitor National Park.The 4 hour drive was worth it as the mountains are stunning. The campsite is on a hill with clear views of the surrounding mountains. Our four days of walking began with a walk and a swim round the Black Lake. Then followed by a two hour walk to a ski centre where we took the ski lifts to the height of 2286m on top of Savin Kuk. The views are amazing except we ...

... are you from?" I said "Canada," thinking that would be the best response since we had been told earlier that some folks in Montenegro don't think kindly of Americans (which we later found out was completely untrue). So, the kids run back but my heart was now racing...I left Tammy alone behind...so I ran up the hillside, which got more steep and with loose fitting ground. I passed a few others that were hiking up there (or so it seemed ...

... conversation with the family on their porch, we headed down the old city for dinner. Our first impression of Dubrovnik's old town was at night. We had no idea that this would be a city like Venice, enchanting and intimate at night, a tourist nightmare during the day. So, as we entered the gates in the midst of a changing of the guard, I immediately realized what all the hype was about. Unfortunately, we never actually figured out what local Croatian cuisine was. Many ...

... blast, Ruth and I went out for dinner the night that the unofficial results of Montenegro's Independence Referendum were announced. Needing a vote of 55% or more for independence from Serbia, the unofficial, likely-to-be-contested result of 56% in favour was announced late in the evening to the jubilant honking of horns, explosion of fireworks ...
